Reminder, I do not rate matches that are under three minutes long…

-Highlights from Raw.

-John Cena kicks off the show, and discusses the main event tonight. He is interested because Dolph Ziggler is involved, and Ziggler has been up in his business as of late. So to return the favor, he will get into Ziggler’s business. He makes lame jokes about Ziggler being a little woman and reminds us of his 2-minute title run. He also stated that Ziggler would soon be powerless, because he would eventually lose the briefcase. Alberto Del Rio came out because he was not impressed with John Cena, and said that Cena needed to worry about Del Rio. The last time Cena was on Smackdown, Del Rio says he destroyed him. They will meet in a match tonight, and that is next. Cena sucker punches Del Rio to make it official.

John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio

And here we go. Lock up to begin, side headlock by Del Rio. Off the ropes and after some counters a hip toss by Cena. Del Rio bails to the floor, takes a powder, and as he tries to enter, Cena heads to the ropes, but Del Rio stun guns him off the ropes. Del Rio lays the boots to Cena, and he rolls to the floor where Del Rio slams him to the announcer’s table. Back in the ring they go, Del Rio up top and connects with a double axe handle and covers for 2. To the corner and more boots by Del Rio, who is in firm control. Del Rio mocks Cena a bit, lands another boot to the gut. Del Rio gets a snap suplex and covers for 2. Ziggler watched on from backstage as Del Rio works a modified chinlock.
